Mouse Emulation Using Electronic Switch Control, Especially with Head Access in Manual Wheelchairs
Friday, October 19, 2007 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Mouse emulation can work well with electronic switches and a Mouse Mover in several configurations. Three switch control, especially when utilized with head access, and electronic switches can increase a student's independent control of an on-screen keyboard and of various pieces of software. Zero pressure control of switches is critical to switch access becoming transparent to the task. This workshop will teach how to set up the systems with manual wheelchairs and how to configure them both in a hardwire and wireless configuration. Emphasis will be on how to use mouse emulation with head access and electronic switches, as well as positioning and seating of the student.
